High And Dry Lyrics

Artist: Gordon Lightfoot
Album: Sundown

With a lady-like devotionShe sails the bitter oceanIf it wasn't for lovesick sailorsThere'd be nothin' left but flotsamSingin' why me oh myIs there a better man than II hope you find your way back homeBefore you're lyin' high and dryI hope you find your way back homeBefore you dieHer sails blow like bubblesWhile ya sip yer daily doublesIf she wasn't so fond of the weatherShe might give the deckhands troubleSingin' why me oh myIs there a better man than II hope you find your way back homeBefore you're lyin' high and dryI hope you find your way back homeBefore you die

One day when I grew olderAnd I found I could not hold herShe took on a fine young skipperWho soon run her up on a boulderSingin' why me oh myIs there a better man than II hope you find your way back homeBefore you're lyin' high and dryI hope you find your way back homeBefore you die

Now the pleasures of the harborDon't include a lady barberIf it wasn't for Long John SilverAll of us pirates would've been martyrsSingin' why me oh myIs there a better man than II hope you find your way back homeBefore you're lyin' high and dryI hope you find your way back homeBefore you're lyin' high and dryI hope you find your way back homeBefore you die
